The Office for Government Policy Coordination (Korean국무조정실; Hanja國務調整室), OPC in short, is a government agency of South Korea consisting Prime Minister's Office with Prime Minister's Secretariat (PMS). It is led by a ministerial-level Minister for Government Policy Coordination unlike Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister who leads PMS and serves at a vice-ministerial level. The OPC Minister chairs the Vice Ministers' Council (Korean차관회의)[1] which supports State Council which is composed of ministers and led by the President and often Prime Minister. Moreover, the OPC Minister is supported by two vice-ministerial Vice Ministers.
